Dr Kavanaugh being iconically annoying 

"I wouldn't wish being fed on by a wraith on my worst enemy... except kavanaugh, fuck that guy"

Precisely. Especially the first episode he is in.

he's so annoying 🤣

Kavanaugh is how we learned to put up with McKay.

The best part is that Shepard used the stunner on himself rather than hear Kavanaugh talk for days in the puddle jumper.

That would’ve been fun haha

Oh yes, he was bad in series 4 and 5. He started self destruction on the Midway station, because no one listened to his suggestions, so he shut the gate himself off by bypassing security, or stuff. Sure he wanted to help, sure he didn't do it on purpose, but his ego still couldn't bear, that everyone in the room ignored him. Same as early seasons. His ego always gets in the way of things. It's always the "I'm right, even if I'm wrong", that is typical for every situation he's in. He's an amazing character in the way he's written - to be absolutely annoying. And the actor does an eccellent job playing the part. But that's the truth about him. He is an annoying character, he's supposed to be that. Even in the later series.

I’m definitely planning a zelenka video soon!

Aside from his meta appeal as a character you love to hate? In universe, it's probably just a simple matter of there being very few people in his area of expertise (whatever that is) and him already having security clearance. They probably also wanted to keep an eye on him, tbh; the last thing you need is some disgruntled scientist blowing the top on your international space conspiracy.

@@CanidRose I was thinking the same. I mean he is one of the few people who have traveled through the Stargate to another galaxy . He is a scientist and the fact that he was chosen to be part of the Atlantis mission means that he is among the elites. If someone like that decided to blabber about everything going on in Stargate as a way to get revenge , what do you think they could do to stop him aside from killing him or ruining his career like they did to Jackson in the Stargate movie where the last parasite went back in time 🤔? Just think about it , it would be very wasteful of them to fire him. A lot of money was invested in his training . He is a security risk that they would have to spend a lot of money on hiring a team to spy on him and keep tabs on him if he were to go back to civilian life. Not to mention who he could share the knowledge he learned while working on Atlantis... In short, too much trouble to kick him out at that point

hes good at his job, and had a toxic leader. thats why lol. Would you give up that opportunity becasue you had a dumb boss?

But not in the instances he thought he was right which still means he was an emotional dickhead.

Actually he was wrong about Weir. In this very video he says " You don't have the strength...to be leading the fight against the Wraith." Yet Weir was willing to hold the Ground against the Wraith, using the defense platforms, going to the Geni and getting captured just to have nukes to use against the wraith and using a kamikaze puddle jumper to destroy a Hive ship. If they had run...Atlantis would be at the bottom of the ocean and they trapped in Pegasus with noway to get home. His argument is actually gaslighting. She's shown impeccable stremght...he just couldn't stand being the only coward in the room.

"Did I just overpower him with my telepathy or something?"

That alone was a perfect example of how she still handled leading an expedition even as a civilian

Well technically he wasnt. He attacked her for weakness on regards to military leadership not her gender.

I’m so sorry, I’ve been super busy lately but I am in the making of lots more videos and that’s one of them!

@@TheFaceOfWhoDWTSGdude please dont. It hurts too much. 😂😂

True, He’s funnier in season 3 and 4

Looking forward to watching those series again,I love Stargate Atlantis.
